Logical science always creates what is known as "limited number of possible options". the most simple form is A or not A, where one thing either exists or doesnt. the more complicated is more than one thing, such as: "A and B", "not A and not B", "A and not B", or "not A and B".


text writing follows patterns which are usually divided on these categories:

  1. Repetition and no repetition
  2. talking about same topic and not talking about same topic
  3. Same size of text and variety of sizes


In other words, 3 categories concern repetition, topic and size.


take example of famous speech rewritten to make it shorter:


"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the skies, we shall never surrender."


this text repeats "We shall fight" 2 times, and repeats "We shall" 3 times. this repetition is what gave text its charm, starting each sentence with same "We shall".


However, repetition isnt always good. But "not repetition" is variety, in other words, "not repetition" is something which is unique.


Such as sentence which has no any repeating words, and sentence which uses words not repeated anywhere else in text.


However, it is universally accepted truth that repetition and not repetition both arent enough on their own. You can write a text where no word repeats, and it will be a bit boring text. You can write a text where each word repeats at least twice in text, and it will be too much repetition.


It is universally agreed that combining these elements, variety and repetition, produces better text. Same with size and topic. You want to have some sentences be of same length, and some others vary. You want to have some sentences talking of same topic, and some others talking about something different.

"We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight in the skies, we shall never surrender."


This is a single sentence, not three. What you observe are three clauses, separated by two commas. And it is not an issue of "repetition;" it is using a poetic form in prose, a matter of meter and rhyme for emphasis.


You want to have some sentences talking of same topic, and some others talking about something different.


This is the primary purpose of paragraphing, or stanzas in poety

Rhyme is repetition.

Also, I forgot to mention syllables, however I dont consider those important enough anyway. too much work in them.

What is the saying rhyme or reason?


phrase. If something happens or is done without rhyme or reason, there seems to be no logical reason for it to happen or be done. He picked people on a whim, without rhyme or reason. Synonyms: sense, meaning, plan, planning More Synonyms of rhyme or reason.
